Severity Scoring of Behavioral Responses of Sperm Whales (<i>Physeter macrocephalus</i>) to Novel Continuous versus Conventional Pulsed Active Sonar

Severity Scoring of Behavioral Responses of Sperm Whales (<i>Physeter macrocephalus</i>) to Novel Continuous versus Conventional Pulsed Active Sonar

Controlled exposure experiments (CEEs) have demonstrated that naval pulsed active sonar (PAS) can induce costly behavioral responses in cetaceans similar to antipredator responses. New generation continuous active sonars (CAS) emit lower amplitude levels but more continuous signals. We conducted CEE...
